About the SDGs

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by world leaders in 2015, embody a roadmap for progress that is sustainable and leaves no one behind.

SDG 5 focuses on gender equality, but achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment is integral to each of the 17 goals. Only by ensuring the rights of women and girls across all the goals will we get to justice and inclusion, economies that work for all, and sustaining our shared environment now and for future generations. The SDGs are accompanied by a comprehensive indicator framework to help us monitor whether we are on track to achieving these goals.

This initiative is part of the Women Count project in Nepal
